#181736 — Oh no! Something has gone wrong

I am trying to run Debian 8.8 under current version 5.1.22 of VirtualBox 
on Windows 10 and I am getting

     Oh no! Something has gone wrong

error message.  I went down to simplest level of running Debian Gnome 
Live disk and I am still getting this error.

I tried a few display settings (128MB of video memory, enable/disable 3D 
acceleration) without success.

I know had the same issue when I tried to install live Debian on my new 
hardware directly:

Intel Pentium G4560 CPU on Gigabyte B250M-D3H motherboard.  I suspect 
that CPU built-in video is not supported.  I resolved the issue on the 
hardware by using a video card that I know works with Linux.

Thank you

You have answered my question perfectly.

Is stretch going to give me trouble?

I just completed installation of stretch and I can confirm that Debian 
works with my hardware configuration!

So, Debian Stretch supports my hardware Kaby Lake (G4560 CPU) gfx based 
on B250M Intel chipset.

I am looking forward to official stretch release.

Do you have a question?

Your suspicion is correct. Kaby Lake (G4560) gfx is not supported on 8.8. It's
much too new. If you wish to use your Kaby Lake gfx, either install Stretch
instead of Jessie, or upgrade Jessie's kernel to one that supports Kaby Lake (4.9).

Your subject error message is a standard/common Gnome error that results from
trying to use gfx that has insufficient Xorg driver and/or hardware support.

OP is running jessie on VirtualBox, so the host hardware shouldn't
matter. If he installs virtualbox-guest-x11 and virtualbox-guest-dkms
(preferably from jessie-backports) in the guest and reboots it, he
should be able to run GNOME.

It's a wide-ranging error message that covers a whole gamut of possible reasons
that gnome-shell has failed to start / crashed after start-up. It's also, IMHO,
a horrifically useless error message for diagnosing exactly what's up.

You're no doubt right about Kaby Lake, but that does not explain the (same?)
problem occurring for OP in VirtualBox.

OP, I'd try the XFCE based live CD inside vbox if I were you.
